Joel D @joeldueck.com · 13/07/2026None of the articles about Lindsey Graham’s sister say anything about her qualifications for taking over his Senate seat, possibly because she has none. 100

Joel D @joeldueck.com · 25/12/2025…I’m also close to releasing a static site generator based on Punct/Racket which provides cross-reference functionality, navigation, a local project server, RSS/Atom feeds, generating print-ready books from blogs, a GUI app, and site deployment. So stay tuned 👀 030
Joel D @joeldueck.com · 25/12/2025Taking some Xmas afternoon time to share something I’ve been crafting over the holiday. I’ve added a #Typst renderer to Punct, so you can write stuff in #Markdown + #Racket code and easily dual-publish to HTML and PDF from the same sources. joeldueck.com/what-about/p... 🧵 130

Joel D @joeldueck.com · 09/12/2025I sure would rather have one 6" snowfall than six 1" snowfalls. (I may soon get my wish.) #mnwx 040
Joel D @joeldueck.com · 04/12/2025Ice in the cold morning air gave us something nice to look at. #mnwx 121
Joel D @joeldueck.com · 01/12/2025I downloaded one of the programs from their "All projects" page to a Windows 11 Pro machine. The cert was trusted out of the box (and I didn't see any Defender warnings). It's almost certainly not an EV cert but it appears to work ok. 110

Joel D @joeldueck.com · 16/10/2025In Texas, they're eating the dogs, the ICE agents that came in, they're eating the cats. They're eating, they're eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is what's happening in our country, and it's a shame. 010
Joel D @joeldueck.com · 04/10/2025If this spider dies/died in here I might have to get a new oven 010

Joel D @joeldueck.com · 30/06/2025New ones: also all cedar, also held with stainless steel trim screws; but also, all surfaces glued with liquid nails, the bottom is perforated with drainage holes and the inside sprayed with a protective rubber coating. Maybe we can get 28 years out of these. 010
Joel D @joeldueck.com · 30/06/2025These old planter boxes are rotted out after 14 years. All cedar, held together with stainless steel trim screws, but no drainage or protection on the inside. Corners are pulling apart due to warping. 110
